ProOnGo Expense iPhone Version Updated

Hello Everyone

We made some big changes to our iPhone expense tracker that just went live to the iTunes App Store yesterday. Among the changes were some visual sorting for users to get a better idea of exactly how much money they are spending per expense category, as well as major improvements to our Employee-Manager workflow.

Here are the details:

• In the Graphs section, the Pie chart now shows spend by category; e.g., showing you what percentage of your expenses were for Meals vs. Entertainment vs. Travel (or whatever categories you have configured)
• In the expense list, if you use the Workflow features, the workflow state of each expense will appear in parenthesis after the dollar amount (Submitted, Approved, Denied)
• In the expense list, if you have a filter turned on, we now show at the bottom of the list a summary of how many expenses are shown vs hidden, due to the filter
• In the New Expense screens, once the picture of the receipt has been taken, it goes straight into the upload path rather than going into the image editor.  This speeds up the process of filing receipts.  The image editor can be turned back on via settings, for those that prefer to use it.
• Lots of performance and stability improvements.
• In the Sort/Filter section, we now have a toggle for Show/Hide expenses in the “Archived” state.  This new state will come in handy shortly as a way for non-workflow users to keep, but hide, expenses that are from prior reporting periods.  Previously non-workflow users had to choose between keeping such expenses in the New state, or the Deleted state, and that was not enough flexibility to handle prior-period expenses.
• In the expense list, we now show a network traffic indicator in the status bar, when the app is communicating with the server
• We added “clear” buttons (subtle gray “x” button in the right-end of an edit box) in various places throughout the app, including the username/password window, and the merchant name editor
• We now support creating very large expense reports via the Reports tab.  Previously, a user creating a report with 150+ expenses would likely see an error saying “URL too long”.  This error has been fixed.
• The “Settings” list options now match the exact order of what our BlackBerry and Android users have
• Fixed various bugs in Sort/Filter; we found a few specific cases where Filter and Sort settings were not being honored.

Check out the new version and see if you like the new additions. And as usual, send us an email if you have any questions or comments: Support@ProOnGo.com.

BlackBerry Version Updated

A new version of ProOnGo Expense just went live for BlackBerry devices.

Among the changes in this version:

• Some general bug fixes
• Re-order of Options menu – We made it easier to find your mileage reimbursement settings, time reimbursement settings and credit card sync settings
• Yell At Support – This option’s at the bottom – you can send us an email or choose this option if you’re having problem with the app and it will send us a diagnostic email.

Stay tuned next week for a big chagne: the addition of a navigation toolbar for BlackBerry devices! This is going to look very similar to our Android and iPhone versions and will greatly increase the usability of the application.

Keep letting us know how we can improve your expense-tracking by sending an email to Support@ProOnGo.com or tweet us @ProOnGo.

New iPhone Version Goes Live!

Hello Everyone!

It’s the beginning of December and we’re quickly approaching the one year anniversary of the release of the ProOnGo Expense for iPhone. We’ve come along way since then, and we don’t plan on stopping the development train just yet!

This new version for iPhone features a major upgrade for our expense filtering system; You can now filter your expenses by multiple metrics

What you can do:

• Filter by client name and time period
• Filter by expense type and client name
• Filter expenses payment type and expense type
• Filter expenses by their workflow status
• Many, many other combinations

Keep in mind, when you create a report, the expenses included in the report will be the expenses shown on your Expense List home screen.

How we see you using this:

It’s the end of the week, you just finished up a project with a client and now it’s now time to send your expenses to your client.  Simply filter your expenses by client name and time period and then create your report, then your client is updated with your expenses.

Give us a shout about this feature (Support@ProOnGo.com) or any other feature you have an opinion on and as usual, and we’ll keep making ProOnGo Expense your favorite mobile expense-tracker.

iPhone Release Updated

A new version of ProOnGo Expense went live on the iTunes App Store yesterday and we managed to fix some bugs as well as added anew feature; we now have a “Start From Here” item at the bottom of each mileage expense.

If you drive from 102 Main Street, Gary, IN to 300 Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, IL, and your next sales call is in Milwaukee, you can open up the Chicago expense, tap on “Start From Here”, and it will create a new mileage expense that starts at exactly “300 Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, IL”.

So, someone who drives through multiple stops per day can stitch them together into a contiguous set of mileage expenses where they’re sure not to miss the opportunity to take credit for every mile driven.  Give us a shout about this feature (Support@ProOnGo.com) and as usual, keep telling us what you like and don’t like about ProOnGo Expense!
